Menards Employee Reviews for Anonymous Employee

"Menards has the potential to be a great privately owned company if they would invest back into their business. This investment I think should be through higher wages, stricter safety standards for their facilities (fixtures aren't bolted to the floor), off-site training for employees (less attitude contamination and work ethic smear). Actually following the policies and procedures they have established and hold persons accountable."

"One of the quickest ways to ensure employee satisfaction is work-life balance, and Menards fails miserably in this regard. They make certain that your entire schedule revolves around them. It is never stable, and can change at a moment's notice. They can keep you until close, and bring you right back in to open the next day. This is the only place that I have worked where the time clock is not right next to the break room. I lose 6 minutes per break per day due to this."

"I think individuals work here in Eau Claire at the CO because they are local and do not know what else is out there. This company underpays it's Team Members, overworks them, as it bases their salary on 45 hours a week (everyone is hourly here), no sick time, limited vacation and a bonus you only get after working there a year straight...which they include in your salary. The environment is oppressive and depressing. If you are in IT you can do much better, trust me!"

"Menards is a great company. They provide excellent training and care about how you are doing with them. They are profitable and keep costs down for their customers. They also provide a good environment for working."
